Sharing the Gospel at the Cairo International Book Fair

‘Always be prepared to give an answer to everyone who asks you to give the reason for the hope that you have’ (1 Peter 3:15).

Our Arabic ministry partners had a unique opportunity to do this at the Cairo International Book Fair, January 21st - February 3rd. 6.2 million visitors came to the exhibition and our colleagues sold books and shared the gospel with Islamic publishers, Muslims from various backgrounds, orthodox priests and Catholic nuns. OPAL’s, ‘Knowing the Holy Spirit’ was one of the books on sale which sparked interest and good conversations.

Many people were hungry for God’s Word, despite the consequences. One woman who purchased Christian books carefully wrapped them in brown paper, fearful of how her father would react if he discovered what she had bought. Please pray for her – and for all who took books home – that these resources would point them to Jesus.

Thank You for Making This Possible

Every donated Bible, Christian book, prayer, and financial gift helps open doors for ministry across the globe. Together, we are seeing lives changed, churches strengthened, and people encounter the hope of Jesus through the written word.
